Yasha Gall, Julian Sorell Huxley, 1887-1975
Julian Sorell Huxley, 1887-1975 Yasha Gall Published by Nauka, St. Petersburg, Russia, 2004 Reproduced as an e-book with kind permission of Nauka Science editor: Academician AL Takhtajan Preface by the Science Editor The 20th century was the epoch of discovery in evolutionary biology, marked by many fundamental investigations. Of special significance were the works of AN Severtsov, SS Chetverikov, S Wright, JBS Haldane, G De Beer JS Huxley and R Goldschmidt. Among the general works on evolutionary theory, the one of greatest breadth was Julian Huxley’s book Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942). Huxley was one of the first to analyze the mechanisms of macro-evolutionary processes and discuss the evolutionary role of neoteny in terms of developmental genetics (the speed of gene action). Neoteny—the most important mechanism of heritable variation of ontogenesis—has great macro-evolutionary consequences. A Russian translation of Huxley’s book on evolution was prepared for publication by Professor VV Alpatov. The manuscript of the translation had already been sent to production when the August session of the VASKNIL in 1948 burst forth—a destructive moment in the history of biology in our country. The publication was halted, and the manuscript disappeared. I remember well a meeting with Huxley in 1945 in Moscow and Leningrad during the celebratory jubilee at the Academy of Sciences. He was deeply disturbed by the “blossoming” of Lysenkoist obscurantism in biology. It is also important to note that in the 1950s Huxley developed original concepts for controlling the birth rate of the Earth’s population. He openly declared the necessity of forming an international institute at the United Nations, since the global ecosystem already could not sustain the pressure of human “activity” and, together with humanity, might itself die. -

Systemic Classism, Systemic Racism: Are Social and Racial Justice Achievable in the United States?
Systemic Classism, Systemic Racism: Are Social and Racial Justice Achievable in the United States? THOMAS KLEVEN† I. INTRODUCTION The thesis of this article is that the United States is systemically a highly classist and racist society, that classism and racism are interrelated and overlapping phenomena, and that the achievement of a non- classist/non-racist society requires a mass movement of working-class people of all ethnicities for social and racial justice for all. By systemic classism/racism I mean that the political and economic institutions of the society are structured and operate to systematically disadvantage working-class people in general, and ethnic minorities in particular, and to systematically advantage a relatively small and largely white upper elite class, and a rather substantial and predominantly white upper middle class. By systemic advantage/disadvantage I mean that the opportunities to succeed in life are unequally distributed along class and racial lines, and that society’s institutions produce and perpetuate this class/race hierarchy. The discussion of race focuses primarily on African Americans and Hispanics, both of whom have been systematically disadvantaged on account of ethnicity.1 As the society’s largest disadvantaged minorities, † Professor of Law, Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Texas Southern University. I would like to thank my colleagues who attended and made helpful comments on an earlier draft of the article presented at a Faculty Quodlibet at the law school in November, 2007. I would especially like to thank Asmara Tekle-Johnson for suggestions on how better to organize the article, and Jon Levy for pointing out errors in and suggesting sources for the historical parts of the article. -

British Eugenics and Birth Control Before World War Two by Tyler Meekins Nowell November, 2018 Director of Thesis: Dr
British Eugenics and Birth Control Before World War Two by Tyler Meekins Nowell November, 2018 Director of Thesis: Dr. Richard Hernandez Major Department: History Eugenics is the science of breeding well, or rather, the science of improving the inborn qualities of the population. This science was founded by Francis Galton in the late nineteenth century and continued by his acolytes through the British Eugenics Society. The British eugenics movement, embodied in the aforementioned Society, was primarily a movement of advocacy. Contrary to numerous historical interpretations, the British eugenics movement’s raison d'être was the instillation of eugenic values in Britons for the health of all in society. The British eugenics movement was not fundamentally concerned with class, but race. It was also benign in comparison to many continental forms of eugenics. The modus operandi of the movement was the dissemination of propaganda and educational materials (literature, posters, handbooks, heredity charts, etc.) at local birth control clinics with whom the British eugenicists had allied themselves. Thus, birth control clinics became the vehicle by which the British eugenicists would attain their desideratum: pan-racial enhancement. For the British eugenicists, this desideratum would not change regardless of context, be it domestic or colonial. The exact methodology of the British eugenicists was indeed malleable per geographic context, but their goal of racial enhancement for the welfare of posterity was not.

PUBLISHED BY THE UC BERKELEY SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM, APRIL 2012 1 WELCOME “Sociological method as we practice it rests wholly on the basic principle that social facts must be studied as things, that is, as realities external to the individual. There is not principle for which we have received more criticism; but none is more fundamental. Indubitably for sociology to be possible, it must above all have an object all its own. It must take cognizance of a reality, which is not in the domain of other sciences. There can be no sociology unless societies exist, and that societies cannot exist if there are only individuals.” —Emile Durkheim Welcome to the Fourth Annual UC Berkeley Sociological Research Symposium! Today, we will celebrate unstoppable intellectual inquiry among scholars from multiple departments in both the social sciences and humanities. -

MusiCares’ services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community. 2 Over the past fiscal year, MusiCares served its largest number of clients to date providing more than $3 million in aid to approximately 3,000 clients. INTRODUCTION The Recording Academy established MusiCares in 1989 to provide the music community with a lifesaving safety net in times of need. We experience a great demand for the range of services we provide — from emergency financial assistance to addiction recovery resources, and this past year has been no exception. It is our ability to meet these increasing needs that speaks to the inherent generosity of music makers, from major artists to young industry professionals. As you read our stories from the past fiscal year (Aug. 1 – July 31), please take a moment to reflect on the generosity of the exceptional supporters of MusiCares, and consider making a gift to help our ongoing work to provide a safety net of services for music people in need. musicares.org • musicares.org • musicares.org • musicares.org • musicares.org • musicares.org • musicares.org • musicares.com • musicares.com • musicares.com • musicares.com • musicares.com PROGRAMS AND IMPACT ince its inception, MusiCares has developed into a premier support system for music people by providing innovative programs and services designed to meet the specific needs of its constituents.
